Woman Changes Name To Kanyeresa West
Kanye – you make a lot of people feel a lot of things. For some (T. Swift), that is feeling is fear/hate, for some (Jay-Z), it is man-love, or…real love? or..love of money?, for white people, you inspire a deep love of alleged street cred, and for the woman formerly known as Lindaresa, you inspire total obsession. To be fair, if my name were Lindaresa, I too would consider a name change. However, KANYERESA would not be my first choice. Neither would tattooing his name across my posterior and down my arm, but I’m just not one for inking.
The woman, who you can see here in all her glory, legally changed her name to Kanyeresa West. Naturally, she prefers to go by Mrs. Kanye West. It is unclear how Yeezy feels about the Mrs. The young(?) lady in question seems to have no job but loving Kanye, as her current projects include music, multiple movies and a book all devoted to her obsession. The good news out of this – she is semi-literate. And persistent: “Until he say, “You’re crazy,’ or until he gets married, I’m gonna keep on going.”
When you have legally changed your name, dedicated your every waking moment to artistic tributes to someone, and permanently etched multiple references to said human on your body…where else is there to go?
Signs point to…downward spiral. Over/under on restraining order by Valentines Day?

Grizzly Bear’s Frontman Ed Droste Shares Pics of Hubby
Grizzly Bear – terrifying but adorable carnivore or indie band from Brooklyn?
Both. But here we tend to talk more about music than forest creatures, so let’s talk a little bit about Ed Droste, frontman of Grizzly Bear. One time, there were reports of him “canoodling” with Sarah Silverman, but turns out, he’s MARRIED. To a man. Sorry Sarah, no more canoodles for you.
Fun fact: Droste’s second cousin co-founded Hooters.
Droste’s husband, Chad McPhail, is an excellent looking man, and if you want to take a peek here’s a Tumblr of lots of couple pics of the duo. From this, we also learn that they have an adorable dog. Of course they do.
Gavin DeGraw: The Fighter
Gavin DeGraw – someone who likes to sing about horse-drawn modes of transportation – got into an altercation with some dudes as well as a scuffle with a motorized form of transportation early Monday morning, leading to a broken nose, bruises, cuts and a concussion.
The singer was outside National Underground, a club he co-owns with his brother, when he was attacked by a vicious group of unknown assailants after an argument he can’t remember. Needless to say, he is unable to provide an accurate description of this unruly gang of hipsters terrorizing the sidewalks of New York.
Post-getting-beat-up, the “I Don’t Wanna Be” singer roamed around the city for a while, until he was a mile away from the club. He then proceeded to get himself hit by a taxi. This led to a good Samaritan calling 911 and reporting a drunk man with a bloody shirt traipsing about the neighborhood. DeGraw was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries.
I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been tryna be lately. What have you been being lately? A wandering drunk getting hit by cabs. Keep it up, Gavin, I sense some good songs coming out of this adventure.
Lady Gaga Egged For Using Wheelchair In Concert
Lady Gaga needs to learn some boundaries. Not that she hasn’t already steamrolled pretty much all things considered borderline appropriate, but there are some things she might want to be a little more sensitive to. Like physical disabilities.
While “performing” in Sydney on Wednesday, Gaga decided it’d be fun to cruise around in a wheelchair while on stage while singing her song “Yoü and I.” While I’m all for unnecessary umlauts, I’m not for unnecessary use of wheelchairs. Unless you are using them for jousting. Needless to say, this upset some fans, who lashed out by throwing eggs at the Gags and her entourage. The eggs all missed the singer, but hit some of her posse. Perhaps it was due to the thrower’s disabilities.
In Lady Gaga’s defense, during the wheelchair escapade, she was clad as her “new mermaid alter ego Yuyi.” Good thing she has a new mer-ego. I was getting bored of the “insane” alter ego. So her legs were strapped together in a fin costume making it difficult/impossible to walk like a human. Being Yuyi is hard…mermaids are supposed to be in the ocean, hanging with Sebastian and Flounder and Scuttle, not up on the land mingling with the humans. Once you get out of the ocean (or pool as seems to be the case with Lady’s hair situation), it’s a big scary world of egg throwing Australians with bad aim trying to ruin your pleather mermaid fin.
Roll away fast, Gags, maybe like…off a raised stage. Then you might really need ambulatory assistance.
Black Eyed Peas Calling It Quits?
The Black Eyed Peas, uncommonly known as BEP, are taking a little break. As in breaking up. This is right after the release of their album, ‘The Beginning.’ Either they mean the beginning of the end, or they don’t understand how “time” works. What will will.i.am and Fergie and the other anonymous members of the group do with their time off? First of all, the other two dudes are named Taboo and apl.de.ap. I think he thinks he is a random piece of HTML code. And also..not as catchy as will.i.am, but, a valiant effort.
Best of luck, team. Can’t wait for the reunion tour.
T-Pain Swears Against Auto-Tune
T-Pain is making power moves. Besides naming his children things like Lyriq and Muziq. Which is a very powerful thing to do.
Obama Droppin’ Bombs
Obama likes to remind us to let him be clear. Don’t worry, ODaddy, we gotchyou.
Now that you caught Osama, you have earned a lot more street cred. So much so that you are now a certified rapper. Except that it’s not you and this isn’t really the White House. But this seems like a pretty accurate take on what the Commander in Chief’s rhyme game would be like: O to the Bama.

Terrifying Tats: Andrei Kirilenko’s New Tattoo
Thank god the NBA doesn’t play its games shirtless. Andrei Kirilenko, a forward for the Utah Jazz, just got a bizarre back tat. It appears to be some sort of man/knight beast that also has a killer yak extending from it’s face. The man is 30. Most people would find that a time to invest in a nice new couch, start planning for your kids’ college funds, or taking the wife out for some cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster. Or…you can have a midlife crisis and get a massive mythical beast inked to your body permanently.
